KJ: Close roads, prevent Bersih from marching

The police have been urged to close all roads designated as marching routes for the Bersih 5 rally to prevent the marches from happening.

According to Sinar Harian, Youth and Sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the staging areas prior to the march had already been identified and thus the police can prevent the march to Dataran Merdeka from happening.

"We do not want incidents like what had happened during Bersih 3 to repeat itself. There were a lot of extreme acts at the time, including the flipping of a police car and shops being broken into.

"So we urge the police to not only disallow Dataran Merdeka from being used for the Bersih 5 rally but if possible also take all necessary actions to ensure that they will not start marching from the identified gathering points," said Khairy who is also the Umno Youth leader.
